1) As we gather, we will purposefully plan for and excercise social distancing that will include the wearing of face masks, use of every-other pew for seating, seating in family groups with six-foot separation of individuals and family groupings.
2) Free masks will be made available for those who do not have a mask.
3) The practice of greeting, handshaking and warm embraces will be suspended.
4) At the conclusion of worship our tradition of gathering and greeting in the Church hallway will be suspended, and we will ask those in attendance to exit the sanctuary and to maintain social distancing outside on church grounds.
